The investigation into the sinking of the trawler with hundreds of migrants on the Greek coast continues, while the institutions show the route that the vessel described.
The Ministry of the Navy and Island Policy states that the fishing vessel that sank in international waters in the maritime area of 47 nautical miles southwest of Pylos was sailing from the moment it was spotted during the morning, noon and afternoon hours of June 13.
The statement states that during the day there were two tankers that approached the trawler to help the people on board and to give them food. But, further, it is shown that several times in a row, the fishing boat refused the food and when it finally accepted the help, the passengers started throwing the food into the sea.
"The entire process of supplying food items to the passengers of the fishing vessel from the two tankers took a total of more than four hours and thirty minutes (4:30)."
The fishing vessel stopped again for a few minutes as the Greek Coast Guard Patrol Vessel approached and then continued its journey.
While from the moment of the end of the process of supplying food items to the moment of its stopping due to a mechanical defect, the fishing vessel has covered a distance of about 6 nautical miles, says the Ministry of the Navy.
From the moment it was spotted by the border police until the moment it sank, the trawler traveled about 30 nautical miles.
Investigations into the incident continue, as well as searches at sea for the missing bodies.
According to the Pakistani authorities, over 300 Pakistani citizens have lost their lives in this tragedy.
The disaster happened after the trawler, believed to be carrying around 750 people, including around 100 children, capsized when a Greek coast guard vessel began to tow it to safety.
Peshkarexha was traveling from Libya to Italy and ended up in Pylos in Greece. Greece has arrested 12 suspected Egyptian traffickers, adding that it may arrest more in the coming hours and days.
